For the 6th year, I will be participating in the Ride for Roswell on June 22! I am proud to be on the Rad.Med. Xfactor team, Riding 20 miles again this year. I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to support research funded by Roswell Park. Cancer has been such a huge part of my life that it impacts who I am. I will always have a passion to help cure cancer.
I will again ride with 2 special survivors on my team - my husband Victor (prostate cancer) and my sister-in-law Barb (ovarian cancer). This year I will be dedicating my ride to my sister Kathy, who's battle with breast cancer ended 20 years ago, and I will also dedicate my ride in memory of Vinny Burgio, whose valiant 9 year battle with bone cancer ended just 5 months ago.
Each mile I ride will have so much meaning, as it signifies the impact of so many loved ones. I will carry the name of each of these special people on my jersey as I go the 20 mile route. As always, I also dedicate my ride to the memory of my parents, George and Dolores Hails, my cousin Ginny, my in-laws Mike and Anna Burgio and so many others I have lost to cancer. They are sadly missed every day. I will also ride in honor of so many family and friends who are cancer survivors. They all mean so much to me, and are true heroes! I pray for their continued health.
Thank you for joining the fight against cancer, and for your past support throughout the years - I truly appreciate all of you!
